    Álbum do ano! Ariana se desprende da ideologia negativa de ex namorados e passa a agradecer boas experiências que cada um a concedeu, mesmo o relacionamento não dando certo no final das contas. De fato soa como uma história em quadrinhos, mas em formato musical!

    Devo admitir que é o álbum mais autobiográfico da cantora. Ariana se inova, já na faixa título thank, u next, fazendo o oposto que outras cantoras fazem, Ariana evidencia as qualidades de todos seus ex's e o que aprendeu com eles.Mesmo cantando um pop comercial, sua voz e seu carisma são o grande diferencial da cantora. Tudo é muito bem explorado e cada faixa se completa.

    With just 6 months since her last release, Grande shines with one of her most mature, personal and professional albums yet. This album feels more like a diary, a view into Grande's life. The vocals are prime too, and really shine in songs like "imagine", "bloodline" and "in my head". She really is the vocalist of our generation.

She keeps exceeding expectations and with everything this beautiful soul has overcome she puts out her most vulnerable and truthful price of work with the intention to heal, to learn to love a world that has tried to bring her down and bring more and more light into her own life. As a fan, as a Stan infact, I applaud her for turning the worst time of her life into something as a human race we can all listen too and learn life **** sucks, especially when you do nothing to heal yourself. Fake smile is my favourite, something I seriously need to learn to stop doing. Thank you you sweat glorious angel, we love you ari.… Expand

"thank u, next" brings a personal part of Ariana we have never seen, with some of her best produced music with "ghostin," and it truly deserves its score of 10.… Expand

El significado de sus canciones como imagine, needy, ghostin, fake smile (que es muy lindo pues está bajo el ojo publico), in my head y thank u, next (que es sobre su amor propio) son increíbles y realmente es sincera.

    Best album of the year.
    Full of the best references of pop music, fashion and beauty. It seems like Ari transformed her love conflicts into a mass cultural product and it sounds so smart and cohesive. Those lyrics so full of the best word games. She is the biggest thing that happened in this decade. The Andy Warhol of our millennial times. She is the future and the fame and she acknowledges that.

    Occasionally, rarely, a record comes along that restores our faith. If this is the future of pop-music, then sign me up.

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
